eh, Im not to worried ucla is making me happy even if its not helping my bracket lol why the fuck did i pick sparty to begin with. ( o yeah i remember now, they lose Im happy, they win, Im happy for my bracket)

This looks exactly like how UVA blew a 10-point lead against Miami. Exactly the same. Missing free throws and can't inbound the ball. I told you never ever ever ever throw dirt on MSU's grave because they have horseshoes jammed up their ass.

The media will stop talking about Izzo's "March magic" as soon as he takes an NBA job. That should probably be after this season. I can't imagine why he would want to stick around and try to rebuild this team. Izzo's market value may have gone down this year, and can only sink lower.

Imagine how much fun it would be if Izzo went to the Pistons and Dantonio got his dream job at TSIO, all in one year.

How did PSU choke? They lost one of their better players early in the 2nd half and the game with Temple was back and forth the whole way, they got beat by an awkward leaning buzzer beater. Devastating loss, but I think they played well.

MIchigan State on the other hand...pretty pathetic performance for 30 minutes of that game, really sums up their season.

Having a defensive breakdown like that, it looked like Fernandez had a pretty clean look to the basket. I'd call that small lapse with a few seconds left a choke, although to even have a game to that point was impressive (considering that Brooks was out).

I don't think you can count a 10 seed losing to a 7 late in a close game a choke. A tough loss, but considering PSU wasn't even in the tourney discussion two weeks ago, taking a good Temple team to the end is pretty impressive.

I don't think it was a defensive breakdown so much as it's just a bad matchup for them and they had no answer for Fernandez all day. They stopped his initial look, so he used his pivot, stepped through and took an awkward leaning jumper and drained it. I think it was ok defense, just better offense and a clutch play by Temple. Completely irrelevant obviously, I just thought "choke" was a little harsh.

To be fair, they at least won a share of 2 of the last 3 B10 regular season titles. Again, nothing spectacular and certainly not the elite juggernaut they have been painted, but they still have fielded some good teams over the past 4 years.
